Al Davis

...I won't bother Al no more

Actually in revisiting this thread I'm somehow reminded of that great B movie..."A Weekend at Bernies."

B movie?! That's an art film.

Well, the dude is older than the friggin league...

I don't know....to some of us, Al Davis isn't that old!!!

Al will be 80 on the 4th of July.

He's 560 years old in NFL years.

He looks like hell for 80. He been hanging out with Keith Richards?

I remember when I was younger thinking that this is what Hugh Hefner should look like when he got old.

Hugh aged pretty good, for living a fast paced, high energy life. Al, well, not so much. I don't understand how he keeps the "gig", he doesn't own the whole team, and I think it's less than 50% too.

Sometime, read the whole scenario on how Al snookered the Raiders away from the owners. It would have made Machiavelli blush.

The guy was an employee that stole the company. It was like if George Castnza took over the Yankees from Steinbrenner.

That would be wrong. He owns around 2/3rds of the team.

And, looking at his career, i know i wouldn't want to go against him if i was a limited partner. He has consistently schooled the NFL and their lawyers.

If you recall, he even sided with the USFL in their anti trust..which they won...course they didn't win anything significant, but Al knows the winning side.

He is ruthless, but he wasn't an employee. He returned to them after being commish as a general partner and head of football ops. True, he wasn't the managing partner, but he was far from being an employee.

Re: Al Davis

Yikes! Al Davis is looking like a missing prop from a horror movie.

He's devolving into the image on the Raiders logo.

He's evil I tell ya...EVIL!!!!!!
